Local Air Quality Conditions

AQI: Good (0 - 50)
Air quality is considered satisfactory, and air pollution poses little or no risk.

AQI: Moderate (51 - 100)
Air quality is acceptable; however, for some pollutants there may be a moderate health concern for a very small number of people who are unusually sensitive to air pollution.

AQI: Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (101 - 150)
Although general public is not likely to be affected at this AQI range, people with lung disease, older adults and children are at a greater risk from exposure to ozone, whereas persons with heart and lung disease, older adults and children are at greater risk from the presence of particles in the air.

Forecast Discussion: 8/14 - Air quality is forecast to reach the good/moderate threshold on Tuesday with partly to mostly cloudy skies and widespread afternoon/evening thunderstorms. 8/15 - High pressure will extend over the region on Wednesday allowing for mostly sunny skies, increasing temperatures, and a west wind. These conditions will allow ozone levels to reach the moderate category throughout central and southern portions of New Jersey. Meanwhile, fine particulate levels are expected to linger near the good/moderate threshold for another day.
